A little tutorial: candy box (altered item)

Hi! I share with you my second tutorial. It's a candy box made with an empty ribbon package.
Recipe:
empty ribbon package
image or stamp
card stock and design paper
Die cut machine (I use Cuttlebug)
Nestabilities (circle die)
If you don't have a die cut machine, you can trace around the circle and cut.
glue and sticky strip
acetate
embellishments

Carefully separate the pieces of the ribbon package.

You need 4 circle pieces of design paper, one small circle of card stock( this one goes inside of the box) and 2 card stock strips (about 3/4" x 11" aprox.)

Cover the circles with the design paper and the ring with cardstock (inside and outside).

For my proyect, I use a die cut fence and it's hard to stay vertical, here is the tricky part. I cut a rectangle piece of acetate (fence size) make a score line(about 1/4) at the bottom and glue it to the fence.

Add some sticky strip to the bottom of the acetate and stick it to the proyect.


Color your image, add embellishments and don't forget CANDY!!!!!!!!
You can see post HERE with all the details.

My first flower tutorial.....

Hi! I'm so happy today because I had a lot of comments about my mini flowers bouquet. I love to work with little things and that is a challenge for me. For this one I used:
1. Martha Stewart punches - Hydrengia (25 pcs aprox., small size) and maple leave (5 pcs)
2. Marvy 1" circle punch (2 pcs)
3. stylus or paint brush
4. glue
5. twizzers
6. gel pen or any kind of paint(stickles, markers, chalk, etc.)

Take one circle and make small cuts around it, save the other for final step.
Put circle in a foam base and with your stylus make circular motions to end with a semi-circle and do the same with the mini flowers.
Now, use your favorite glue and twizzers to attach the flower starting with the base or bottom of the semi-circle.

Continue gluing the flower around the circle and finish at the top.
Glue 5 leaves to the second circle and make small dots in the center of each flower with gel pen .
Glue flowers to the leave base. This is the result. Isn't a cutie.
